An incident was captured in a 10-minute video posted to YouTube showing a 68-year-old woman trying her best to ignore the stream of profanity, insults and outright threats directed at her by outrageously disrespectful teens on their way to school.

I'm so heartbroken over this. How on EARTH anyone thinks it is okay to be so horribly disrespectful to any person, let alone an older lady is completely outside my understanding or acceptance. (Warning, video contains harsh language.)

I was raised in a multi-generational household who's matriarch (my grandmother) was a Polish immigrant / Holocaust survivor. Oh, and we were dirt poor in America. Being disrespectful just wasn't done because it was always our elders that took care of us on up the line. I'm not sure if I always believe in "an eye for an eye" but somehow in this case I really would love these horrid teens shamed in public, preferably on YouTube. Yes, I know it's petty to feel that way, but after just loosing my grandmother in May seeing this woman just sit and take the abuse, knowing if she spoke up she most likely risked physical harm, makes me want to vomit.
